“连接自然与文化” ① ：西方哲学背景下的全球议题

文化遗产保护是动态发展的概念,总结了文化景观的3类意义：1)文化景观作为物质实体;2)文化景观作为概念和过程;3)文化景观作为方法和工具。指出当前世界遗产及文化景观保护中存在的自然和文化分离现象,揭示了西方哲学的二元两分法的背景根源。介绍了IUCN和ICOMOS为融合自然与文化而进行的“连接实践项目”和“自然文化之旅”2个项目,推广他们在不同地理和文化背景下,为更好地连接自然与文化遗产的治理和管理实践所作出的杰出贡献和引领作用,主张非西方原住民社区、地方社区应该在推进“自然文化之旅”工作中占有核心地位。

Connecting NatureCultures: A Global Issue Arisingfrom Western Philosophy

The paper asserts that the concept of cultural heritage isevolving and the present cultural landscape encompasses three broadmeanings: 1) Cultural landscape as object; 2) Cultural landscape as aconcept and process; 3) Cultural landscape as a set of methods and tools.It pointed that World Heritage is a system that separates "nature" and"culture" with the pervasive influence of the Western philosophy. The paperintroduced the two projects "connecting practice project" and "natureculturejourney" cooperated by IUCN and ICOMOS to recognize and promote tobetter connect natural / cultural heritage in governance and managementpractice across different geographic and cultural contexts. It suggests thatindigenous societies and local communities are in the strongest position tofurther the work on natureculture journey.
